If any MHOers have a spare few hours, let me recommend a radio transmission in Dan Carlin’s Hardore History series, called BLUEPRINT FOR ARMAGGEDON.

I’m using the BBC podcast to listen to it, and each episode is about three hours long, the first dealing with the outbreak of war in 1914.

It hasn’t taught me anything I didn’t already know, but I can honestly say that I have never heard a more captivating and seductive presentation, and during a rather dismal period over the last couple of weeks, it’s really given me a lift.

If you like being informed and entertained, this is a must.

Regards, Phil
